I use this exact same formula on the left hand-side of the canvas, starting with Elspeth Tirel, then moving backward to Tezzeret, Sarkhan Vol, Nissa Revane and Karn (Fig.10 - 11). As you can see by studying these images a lot of re-organizing took place to balance the position and presence of each Planewalker in order to get a composition both locally and overall. After all the characters were completed I cleaned and tightened the background elements being careful not to over describe the location or demystify the characters.

If you want to take a look at a larger version of my image, head over to http://cryptcrawler.deviantart.com and browse my gallery to find the image. It's only at about half the actual size but you'll be able to check out each Planeswalker a little more closely. Thank you for your interest in my art; I hope you enjoy looking it as much as I did painting it. Until next time!
